DOCUMENTING ONE MAN'S JOURNEY TO BECOMING A PROPERTY MILLIONAIRE

Property Diary- Project 1- Become A Landlord

This archive of blog posts is where it all started. It’s the root of what you see before you. This was my very first category, where I started documenting my amateur steps into propertyhood.

I discuss every step I took from buying a property all the way to becoming a landlord. Along the way I had to deal with idiot mortgage brokers, incompetent estate agents, lying letting agents and a stupid bitch of a tenant whom I had to eventually evict. Ahh they were the good times.

I Hate It When My Tenant Calls

Whenever I see my tenant’s name flashing on my mobile phone screen, I know it’s not good news. Granted, it rarely happens, but when it happens, I panic. When does a tenant ever call baring good news? “Oh, Hey Landlordy, just calling to thank you for providing this wonderful roof over my head at a […]

Reasons Why I Hate My Tenant

My tenant is finally out of my life after I evicted her incompetent arse. I’m definitely ready to close this chapter in my life….right after I’ve documented a list of reasons why I loath her so much. I’ve wrote a few blog entries on this issue, and in parts explained my feelings towards her, but […]

Old Tenant Out, New Tenant In

I met up with my letting agent last night and signed the contracts for my new tenant. My new tenant has paid 1 year’s rent up front, which should be deposited into my account early next week. I can’t emphasise enough how lucky I feel to have a tenant which was willing to pay a […]

I Found A New Tenant

Right, so my scum-bag tenant is moving out on the 20th of august (can’t wait). And my new one is moving in on the 21st. Here’s the best part, though. My new tenant is a full-time career woman, and she wants to pay the 1 year rent up front (12 x £775 = £9300 + […]

My Tenant Has Agreed To Vacate

HA! The scummy little benefit fraudster has buckled under the pressure and has agreed to move out and pay everything she owes me. I feel lucky. Why? No idea. Someone lucky wouldn’t have even had a shitty little tenant like that. But whatever, considering the circumstances, I am lucky. This could have gone to court, […]

The Bitch (My Tenant) Received Her Eviction Notice- She’s Not Happy

Ok, so this is what has happened so far. My tenant owed me £775 on the 15th of June. After weeks of chasing, she finally made payment on the 13th of July. By the time she paid the previous month’s rent, her next payment was due in 2 days time. So on the 15th of […]

The Bitch (my tenant) Finally Paid Her Rent

2 days ago I got a text message from my tenant saying that she will cough up her rent on Friday (today), after a 29 day delay. “i’ll pay on Friday”, were her exact words.
This morning I got a text at 11am saying, “it’s in”, from her. She’s not one for words, huh? I assumed […]

I’m Evicting My Tenant

A few weeks ago I made a video blog about my tenant owing me rent. Well, she still hasn’t paid, and it’s now nearly a month overdue. On the 15th of July she will owe me 1.5k, and I have no confidence whatsoever that she’ll cough up the money. She’s given me every damn […]

My Tenant Is Pissing Me Off Big Time

God, I fucking hate this landlord malarkey sometimes. My tenant is taking the piss.
Anyways, I explain a little more in my very first video blog entry. Wicked, aye? This was kind of a spontaneous shooting, so I probably don’t come across as physically presentable, or bright, articulate and coherent. My bad. But still, I made […]
